Injury Report: Matthews day to day

[2 Slick]

That’s good news to hear. He needs to get in some games before the playoffs begin, not for individual awards, but so that he feels ready and doesn’t have to play catch-up after missing a number of games.

I guess that proves that his injury wasn’t anything that was overly serious, I probably overreacted like several others did, but can you really blame us?

Individual goals and awards aren’t what’s important here, but I’m not going to get upset if he scores 60 goals, that would be a nice little consolation prize.

Tell us what you look like so we can wave Hi to you! Haha jk, enjoy the game. It should be a show with Matthews back.

Glad he is back. It''s all aboit the playoffs this year, this hasn't changed. Just remain healthy.

I'm almost as worried about Muzzin though. He is stikknout. If he is 100% and plays as he can come playoffs, it's a huge boon to our defensive pairings.

Hopefully @saffronleaf is OK with this news after he was so sure Matthews “would not play a regular season game, but at less then 50% in the playoffs and have offseason surgery"

Muzzin, Sandin and Kase are all wildcards. I actually think the most impactful return could be Sandin, could make for some excellent pairings:

Rielly - Brodie
Gio - Lily
Sandin - Holl

Muzzin, if he’s back and playing like he was last year, would be an incredible add. But this year, he’s been nowhere close to the player he was before. I wouldn’t play 2021/22 Muzzin over any of the above players.

Uhhh, I’ll take one lmao

 

[saffronleaf]

glad he's finally back. hope he's fully recovered.

 

[HolyCrap]

Pumped to hear Mathews is playing. Hopefully he is back to his Hart self and fully recovered. Secure home ice and then sink the State of Florida in maple syrup in May.

 

[riffle]

Great news that he's back, I think. Can't help but think of the Chinese farmer. Maybe.

We'll never know if he would've been shutdown had they won in Tampa. I sincerely hope whatever is going on with his body is being treated exactly the same way regardless of precariousness of 2nd seed.

 

[DarkKnight]

Thank you hockey gods, now don’t over play him coach.

glad he's finally back. hope he's fully recovered.

I just woke up from a bad dream where the date of this comment was some time in October

I don't know, I was captured by this portion of the beginning of it. Staff wanted to give him the night off but Auston wanted to play. So many implications in this little comment. Does this mean Auston didn't want to play in the other games and was on the same page with management? Tonight, they aren't on the same page, and Auston decides when he's playing and not management?

Hard to unravel all this but, to me, it seems they had no intention of playing him until the Caps game, but he said he wanted to go, tonight, and they changed course. Makes it sound, to me, they knew there was no way he was playing vs. Tampa, yet, games before that they made it sound like he might return knowing he wouldn't.

Yes. Which clearly means Matthews is lying and won’t play and his future is in doubt after massive offseason surgery

Can you randomly come snag me out in Oshawa? I'm not far off the 401. Thanks in advance!

 

[Darth Menace]

I know this isn't the place but I have rarely been able to see any PGT since the new forums. I don't have anyone blocked. Is there a mod I can message?


Thanks

 

[WillyC]

Who’s gonna say no to Auston Matthews?… he starts tonight, and scores 60.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

If there looks like even a hint of a nagging injury, I say sit him for another week.

 

[BallardEra]

It must be his wrist.

 

[saffronleaf]

Matthews hasn't scored in many games now.
